Chapter 17: The Scourge of Prison
Yu Mei moved her knee joints like Chen Yu, and the pain disappeared.
She inadvertently remembered Qingping Lelai, and flexibly turned around to ask the warden who was about to leave.
Why don't you give me back my painting? It's mine, you can't be unaware.
She asked the warden in a hurry.
The warden was refreshed, waving the long sleeves of his official uniform with his arms, and walked out with vigour.
Hearing that Yu Mei was asking for a picture scroll to herself, she glanced at Yu Mei slightly.
Then he quickly turned his head and left to reply to Yu Mei, I'm afraid it can't be done.
After the wardens left, the guards told Yu Mei that the prisoners should be separated and that men and women should not be mixed.
When she learned that she was going to live in two separate rooms with Chen Yu, she was so emotional that she didn't want to say anything, so the jailer took it upon himself to follow her wishes, and the two were taken into a large prison by the jailer.
At the end of a single prison room, the outside is fenced by dozens of vertical black wooden stakes, the floor seems to have been cleaned, the small wooden bed has long been worn, and the air faintly smells of tung oil, and the smell of tung oil burned out.
The two were pushed into the prison by the jailer, and with the sound of the jailer's door, the free life of the two of them was temporarily ended, and Yu Mei, who didn't quite understand the world, seemed to be more calm and calm because of Chen Yu's company, and began to have a topic with Chen Yu.
Looking at Chen Yu's blurred face in the prison cell, he became overjoyed under the dark oil lamp.
She said from her heart, I don't like it here, I want to go back to the original place, you know.
He stared blankly at the black wooden fence, blocking not only freedom and dignity, but also the distortion and selfishness of human nature in the prison hall of the black drum alley.
The Bian Imperial Court of Yangyang, the Changsheng Mansion in Gyeonggi, still has frequent unjust cases that are as light as whipping, and they focus heavily on extorting confessions by torture so that they cannot be cleared of their grievances for the rest of their lives.
Chen Yu, I ignore you, you ignore me. After speaking, he gently bumped his arm into Chen Yu's arm, and in the light of the flickering tung oil lamp, the bridge of his pointed nose was more blurred, and his forehead was fuller.
We're only going to be here tonight, and maybe we won't be able to get out for a while, and if you had listened to me and come home, maybe it wouldn't have been the case now. Chen Yu told Yu Mei so.
I just like to follow you like that, but can you tell me where my family lives?
I don't like to be fooled around, why don't you have a home? You can't not know where your home is, Chen Yu said tentatively.
Even if I don't have a home, what can you do to me, even if I have a home, I won't tell you, what are you going to do?
I didn't know what to do, I just didn't understand why the girl didn't have a home.
This is the first time Yu Mei has walked into the prison cell, the first time she has spoken to someone like this, and it is also the first time that she has some impressions of Chen Yu in her heart.
Yu Mei's words blurted out, Chen Yu I want to sleep for a while, my eyes are tired and wandering on Chen Yu's body, this posture looks like a coquette.
Chen Yu simply and skillfully made a small bed for her, turned her head and told her, are you like this at home, and someone has made a bed and folded quilt for you, right?
The smell of tung oil in the prison began to enter Chen Yu's nose, and Yu Mei, who was lying on the bed, had closed her eyes peacefully, her small and delicate facial features were white and clean, and she quietly looked at Yu Mei in a slow daze.
The breeze carried the flames on the tung oil wick, swaying from side to side and flickering from time to time, and he sat on the edge of the bed without knowing the current hour, maybe the day was over.
The surroundings slowly fell silent, and he began to worry about his future, whether he could get out of this darkness Ling Yu tomorrow, in case the grievances were not revealed, then this prison disaster could not be avoided.
He began to think back in his heart about all the things that happened a few days ago, which caused him to be innocently killed, and he didn't know how to come to Yumei.
